JAMES AUSTIN JOHNSON is a comedian and actor currently in his fourth season as a cast member on “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.” Known for his prolific voice-over work in both TV and film, his acting credits include “BARRY,” “BETTER CALL SAUL,” “SHE SAID,” and “HAIL, CAESAR!”. He voices the Grinch in Wondery’s podcast series “'TIS THE GRINCH HOLIDAY PODCAST,” which recently wrapped its second season. On SNL, Johnson is widely recognized for his uncanny portrayal of Donald Trump. In 2024, he appeared in two Oscar-nominated films, voicing Pouchy in "INSIDE OUT 2" and making a cameo in the Bob Dylan biopic “A COMPLETE UNKNOWN,” starring Timothée Chalamet.


Why'd We Book It?

James is a standout on SNL the last few seasons with his incredible impressions and sharp knack for improv. He has become a reliable impressionist over the last few chaotic years in this country. Giving us all a much needed laugh on a Saturday night. Everytime we think he is done there comes a sketch like the one below with Conner Storrie. We are excited to see how his role in the comedy world expands on and off the show.
